Does it cost retail price,or do you set up your own price when it comes to buying DVD's?

Hmm..what exactly do you mean? How much stores pay for DVDs? They can basically charge as low as they want, although the MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) is something that you're not supposed to go below. But then, it's not really enforced. The Lion King's MAP is $19.99, and anyone who prices it above that won't be asking for your business on 10/7.
I'm not sure I'm understanding the question, though.

Well, I don't sell them - Amazon does. Most of their pre-orders are at least 25% off SRP, and their most popular titles are 30% off or more SRP. Pretty much all of their titles offer some discount, but pre-orders and recent releases offer the most significant discounts. While Amazon has often become less-than-competitive in terms of pricing, a lot of the upcoming releases are low-priced, and they're clearly hoping to get a boost towards holiday sales. You can knock even more off their price, by doing Share the Love and (when they have it) daily Trivia Questions for Nickels up to 10% off the purchase price. Their service is usually pretty great, too.
And a percentage of the purchase goes to support the site, so that's always good. I hope I've answered your question.
